A large enterprise operates a multi-vendor network with Cisco routers and switches, as well as Juniper devices. The network team uses Ansible for automation, with a centralized control node running RHEL. They have been using the 'ios_config' module for Cisco devices and 'junos_config' for Juniper devices. Recently, they added a new Cisco Catalyst 9300 switch to the network. They wrote a playbook to configure VLAN 100 on the switch, but the task fails with the error: 'module_stderr: Could not find platform module for Cisco IOS XE'. The playbook uses the 'cisco.ios.ios_config' module. The control node has the 'cisco.ios' collection installed (version 2.0.0). The target switch runs IOS XE 16.12.3. The control node can SSH to the switch successfully. Which action will most likely resolve the issue?

A university IT department manages a Cisco Meraki network with 200 MR access points and 50 MS switches. They use the Meraki dashboard API to automate network provisioning. A new student dormitory was added, and the team needs to create a new network and claim devices. They have a Python script that uses the Meraki API to create the network and then claim devices by serial numbers. The script successfully creates the network but fails when claiming devices with a 400 error: 'Device serial number is not valid or already claimed'. The serial numbers are correct and unused. The API key has full organization access. The script uses the endpoint 'POST /networks/{networkId}/devices/claim' with the correct body. What is the most likely cause of the failure?

A large enterprise uses Cisco DNA Center to manage its campus network. The network team has automated wireless SSID provisioning using the Intent API. Recently, a new SSID was created but it does not appear on the wireless LAN controllers. The Python script that calls the API returns a 200 OK response, but the SSID is not deployed. The script uses the POST /dna/intent/api/v1/ssid endpoint with a JSON body containing the SSID name and security settings. A day later, the SSID is still missing. The engineer checks the DNA Center GUI and sees the SSID in the 'Design' section but with a 'Provisioning Failed' status. Which step should the engineer take next to resolve the issue?

A network engineer needs to automate the deployment of QoS policies across multiple campus switches using Cisco DNA Center. The engineer decides to use the Cisco DNA Center Intent API to create a policy tag and bind it to a group of devices. After sending the PUT request to /dna/intent/api/v1/policy-tag, the API returns a 202 Accepted status. However, the engineer notices that the policy is not being applied consistently across all devices. What is the most likely reason?

A developer is integrating a Webex Teams bot with an external system using the Webex API. The bot receives an HTTP POST callback from Webex every time a message is posted in a monitored space. The developer notices that sometimes the callback includes a 'data' object with 'actorId', but other times the 'actorId' is missing. The bot needs to log the identity of the person who posted the message. What should the developer do to reliably obtain the sender's identity?

Which TWO of the following are common methods for authenticating to Cisco REST APIs? (Choose two.)

Which THREE of the following are typically included in a Cisco DevNet sandbox environment? (Choose three.)

A network automation engineer is tasked with creating a Python script to automatically back up the running configuration of all IOS XE devices in a data center using the Cisco IOS XE REST API. The engineer has credentials for each device and knows the IP addresses. The script uses the requests library and sends a GET request to https://<device-ip>/restconf/data/Cisco-IOS-XE-native:native?content=config. The script runs successfully for some devices but fails with a 401 Unauthorized error for others. The engineer confirms the credentials are correct and the devices are reachable. The working devices are running IOS XE 16.9, while the failing ones are running IOS XE 16.6. The engineer checks the API documentation and finds that RESTCONF is enabled on all devices. However, the engineer notices that the failing devices require a different authentication method. What should the engineer do to fix the authentication for the IOS XE 16.6 devices?

A developer has created a Webex Teams bot that listens for messages in a specific room and responds with information from an external database. The bot uses the Webex API's 'messages.create' method to post replies. During testing, the bot sometimes fails to respond, but no errors are logged. The developer checks the Webex Developer Portal and sees that the bot's rate limit is set to 10 requests per second. The bot's average load is 5 requests per second, but occasionally spikes to 15 requests per second for a few seconds. The developer wants to ensure the bot functions reliably without exceeding rate limits. Which approach should the developer implement?

A DevOps team is implementing a CI/CD pipeline for network services using Cisco NSO (Network Services Orchestrator). They have a Python script that uses the NSO RESTCONF API to create a new VPN service instance. The script passes all integration tests in the staging environment, but when deployed to production, the 'POST' request to /api/run/vpn-service returns a 500 Internal Server Error. The team checks the NSO logs and finds the error 'Error: No such device: device-xr-1'. The production NSO instance manages multiple devices, and device-xr-1 is one of them. The team confirms device-xr-1 is reachable and managed by NSO in the production environment. What is the most likely cause of this error?

A developer is using the Meraki Dashboard API to programmatically change the SSID name of a wireless network. The developer successfully authenticates with an API key and sends a PUT request to /networks/{networkId}/wireless/ssids/{number} with a JSON body containing the updated name. The API returns a 200 OK response, but the SSID name does not change in the Meraki Dashboard. The developer double-checks the networkId and SSID number, and they are correct. The developer also confirms that the API key has full write access to the network. What additional step is most likely required?

A system administrator wants to use the Cisco Intersight API to collect hardware inventory from a set of UCS servers managed by Intersight. The administrator needs to retrieve the serial numbers, memory, and CPU information. The administrator has an API key with the appropriate permissions. The administrator uses a Python script with the requests library to send a GET request to https://intersight.com/api/v1/compute/PhysicalSummaries. The request returns HTTP 200 with a list of objects. However, each object only contains the 'Moid' and 'Name' fields; the serial number and hardware details are missing. What should the administrator do to get the full inventory details?

A developer is building a dashboard that displays the health status of network devices managed by Cisco ACI. The developer uses the ACI REST API to query the APIC (Application Policy Infrastructure Controller). The developer sends a GET request to https://apic-ip/api/class/fabricHealthInst.json returns a JSON object with health scores. The dashboard works for a small set of devices, but when scaled to 500 devices, the API responses become slower and sometimes time out. The developer needs to optimize the data retrieval to keep the dashboard responsive. Which approach should the developer use?

Which TWO Cisco platforms provide comprehensive REST APIs for network configuration and monitoring?

Refer to the exhibit. Which Cisco DNA Center Intent API request produced this response?

You are a DevNet engineer responsible for automating configuration management across a Cisco SD-WAN fabric. You have been using the vManage REST API to retrieve device inventory and template lists. You generate an API token with read/write scope and successfully execute GET requests to /dataservice/device and /dataservice/template/device to list devices and templates. Now you want to attach a specific template to a device using POST /dataservice/template/device/config/attach. Your Python script uses the correct URL and includes the token in the Authorization header. The request body contains the device UUID and template UUID retrieved earlier. However, the API returns an HTTP 403 Forbidden error. You have verified that the device UUID and template UUID are correct and that the template exists. The vManage server logs indicate no high resource usage. What is the most likely cause of the 403 error?
